It's nice that the app has all the escape sequences placed "somewhere" where there was room for them for this random subset of terminals, but it's useless when the app doesn't know which key the sequence really belongs to. And to be honest, the terminfo library has been there as an alternative for more than 30 years. Vim is just an example of this: Malformed cap definitions for vt100+keypad and its inheritants are the reason why Vim, when run over PuTTY (TERM=putty), incorrectly treats keypad 1/End as 7/Home and 3/PgDn as 9/PgUp. The effort to fix this problem is just one of reasons why vim has builtin stuff (but not for PuTTY though). Jakub
